Day 262 | Action
Rowan groaned in pain, having been forcefully woken up by hitting the ground. That was a first for him. He had a queen sized bed, how did he end up on the ground? Pushing himself up to a sitting position, he looked around. Oh, that's why he was on the ground. Who's bright idea was it for him to sleep on a park bench? Wait, why was he in a park, and not at home? Did he have one too many drinks and just passed out somewhere? Oh this was making his head hurt...

And then the welcome message. He managed to get through the opening statements, but when the list of his supposed crimes came up, he was done. So done. He pulled the communicator off of his face, then sat there staring at the strange device, contemplating everything and muttering to himself.

"Crazy technology, overalls ripped off from every prison show ever, waking up in the middle of a park with no knowledge of how I got here... Clearly, either someone is really good at coming up with elaborate pranks, or I've gone crazy."

	[ Parks are pretty great. It's the closest thing to nature they got down here and what with Aidan practically growing up in the middle of a forest, he ends up spending a lot of free time in them. He also spends a lot of free time helping people, especially newcomers and that shock of orange is hard to miss. ] Hey, uh... you okay? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Ask me again when I haven't just woken up in a strange place, wearing strange clothes, and had strange robots tell me I'm a criminal." Yup, there was that defensiveness again. Then he looked up at the stranger, and raised an eyebrow. "But if a cutie like you is asking, then yes, I am perfectly fine. Just a little discombobulated." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, that sure derailed every thought in his head. There's a moment of staring, of goldfish impressions because he really didn't see that coming and here he is with a lot of romantic feelings that have noplace to go after his boyfriend disappeared. Needless to say there's some color rising on his cheeks. One of the hazards of being ginger.

"Ah..." He clears his throat. "Yeah, uhm... it's kinda confusin' at first. Gets better though, once you get a hang of this place."

Oh god.

"'m Aidan. Aidan Reilly."

	Oh gosh, cute AND easily flustered! A grin slowly formed across Rowan's face as he watched Aidan's reactions, then he bounced to his feet. "Rowan Fae, at your service," he said, bowing deeply. "You seem like a knowledgeable sort. Perhaps you would be so kind as to help me get a solid footing?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He managed to hold himself back from immediately latching onto Aidan's arm, like all those ditsy girls you would normally see in a chick flick aimed at teenage girls. He definitely did not want to scare this man off! He did shuffle a little closer, though, and his grin morphed into a more flirty smile, with eyelids lowered and everything. His voice lowered to match, a hint of promise buried within.

"I would be ever so grateful."

"Alright, uhm... " Clearing his throat. This would be a little bit easier if it didn't make him think of Helix quite so much — not that the two boys are identical or anything, but the similarities are there. Enough to make his pulse pick up at the lowered tone of voice.

"Where d'ya wanna start? We, uh... I could show you where t' get clothes, if you wanna get out of th' jumpsuit."

	He shrugged, still smiling quite seductively. This was almost too easy! "That's perfectly fine with me. I can't wait to get out of this hideous thing." He plucked absently at the jumpsuit, and the way he said it implied that maybe he wouldn't be in any rush to get into anything else immediately afterwards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Alright... sector 4, then."

Yep, definitely giving him strong Helix vibes. It had taken him some time to get used to that kind of jargon from his alien boyfriend and even longer to realize that he could just turn it around and make an effective and unexpected weapon out of it. Can't really do that with some guy you just met though, so he's left being flustered and fidgeting.

"So, uhm. What d'ya wanna know?"

Well, that was a little bit of a tricky question. There were a lot of things that Rowan wanted to know. About the prison/asylum place thing, about the other people here, about Aidan in particular... There was one question at the very top of his list, though.

"How does one get out of this place? I know the welcome message thing when I woke up said something about being here for the rest of my life, but there's gotta be some kind of loophole or something, right?"

Okay, that wasn't exactly the top question in his mind, but he was at least trying to make an effort to gain information before attempting to tumble Aidan right into the nearest bed.

"Get out?"

Oh boy does he ever hate answering that question, mostly because for most people it's a lose-lose situation. He scratches his neck, trying to think up a non-nasty way of breaking the newbie.

"Ain't no way out. No way home at least... people disappear all th' time though. Lose 'emselves in th' stabilizer, th' Wardens say. We've got some folks workin' on findin' a way back home but for now... 's just better to settle in for th' long haul and make th' best of it."

	"Oh..." Well that sucks, doesn't it? "Any way to at least contact my family? I don't want them to worry about me, and I need to make sure my little bro is gonna be okay without me." His brother was pretty important to him. He just needed to make sure Tori wasn't going to end up like him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sorry... don't think that's gonna happen. There's a rumor that they replace you with a clone back home, so your folks wouldn't even notice that you're gone, but... who knows. " If there was a way to contact family, he would've been all over that. All the time. Every hour of every day, if possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He was silent for a bit, processing that little piece of information. That he would miss his family, his mom and step-dad and precious little brother... and they wouldn't miss him? That was really painful to think about.

So he shoved those thoughts to the back of his head, and pretended he was okay with it. There was only a very slight hint that his smile and cheer were forced when he finally spoke again.

"Well then, I'll just have to trust this supposed clone of mine to keep Tori from doing stupid things with his life. So how long have you been here, anyways, that you know so much about this place?"

It's really not fair at all and in Aidan's case, there's a good amount of mixed emotions in there too. On one hand he's worried that his clone won't take care of his parents the way they deserve — only child after all, set to take over the family farm once he's done adventuring through his youth — and on the other he's... relieved. They deserve a better son. Someone who won't let them down the way he has.

"*Bout four months now... we used t' be in another prison. Two, actually... one of 'em was a temporary thing while they repaired this one from th' sea monster attack."

With the casual tone of a Marina veteran.

	"Whoa, sea monsters? Like giant squid and Loch Ness Monster type sea monsters?" He wasn't sure how he felt about being in an underwater prison if there was a chance they could all drown because it was attacked by sea monsters. Seemed like a pretty stupid place to put a prison in the first place, if you asked him. And for Aidan to be so calm about it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, I guess? Didn't get to see much of 'em, but uh... there were huge tentacles. That's for sure. Made a lot of noise too, bashin' on th' dome." And it's that part that really got to him for reasons entirely unrelated to giant deepsea monsters. He suppresses a shudder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I think I've seen enough hentai to know where that goes..."

He shuddered a little himself, partly in sympathetic fear at the thought of the dome breaking and all that water flooding in and everyone drowning, but also partly in excitement at the thought of the inevitable release of tension after a major event like that. His tension relief of choice? Probably pretty obvious at this point. A small, self-satisfied smirk slipped onto his face as he was lost in his own thoughts for a while.

	"...Enough what-now?" Yes, that is exactly the kind of question you're supposed to ask right now. Very important. Can't wait. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	freepour 2014-03-18 12:49 am UTC (link)
	That was definitely enough to startle him out of his thoughts. "Hentai. You know, Asian animated porn? Commonly features tentacle monsters molesting poor, innocent little school girls and/or boys?" How can someone not know what hentai is? That just made his head spin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Seein' as I've never heard of Asian... " You're talking to a bonefide alien here, bucko. He didn't even know what Earth was until he dropped down in prison. "Kinda sounds like some of th' alien stuff they used t' sell back home though... well, in th' city. Pretty popular too, but I never understood it. All slime an' tentacles."

	freepour 2014-03-18 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	Right, alien. Definitely not in Kansas anymore, Rowan, this just proved it. Okay. "I dunno, I think the idea of being restrained and violated by something completely inhuman is kinda hot." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-18 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	He snerks, though maybe not for completely obvious reasons. "A damn shame my boyfriend isn't around anymore... I'm pretty sure you would've gotten along splendidly." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	freepour 2014-03-18 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Or you both would've been trying to beat me off with a stick. Was he cute?" The thought of Aidan and his mysterious boyfriend taking him to bed with them... He flushed a little at that, and grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah... yeah, he was. Is, I mean. Ain't like he's dead or nothin'."

He hopes. Who can tell, really, what with the kind of life that awaits them back home. Definitely not a thought he wants to linger on right now so instead he digs out his wallet that he only carries for... well, this specific purpose.

"Here... I got a photo of him."
